Sorry, I must have mis-worded my response. You don't have to make any shortcuts or links since your assets are in the same folder as your packages:
- root -- images ---- image1.png ---- image2.png -- com --- mycompany ---- MyApp.as In MyApp.as, you can embed any image in 'images' by prepending "/" to the beginning of the path: [Embed(source="/images/image1.png")] public var Image1:Class; I think that will work for the situation you described -- you don't need to do any hackery. ------------------------------------- To answer your link question: I assume you're trying to "link" the assets directory under root/com/mycompany so that MyApp.as can refer to it as "assets/image1.png" by creating a shortcut under root/com/mycompany that points to root/assets. Unfortunately that won't work because you can't create proper symbolic links in Windows, see: http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=341355 If you're on any Unix-based system (this includes Mac OSX), you can create a proper link like the one you wanted to create using the `ln` command. Again, you don't have to worry about this, because you don't even need to create a link. --- In [email protected], "tddclare" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What kind of hackery is needed?
